It is better to sow in the soil disinfected with a saturated solution of manganese, then cover it with a film material and keep it in a warm place for a while.

A characteristic feature of onion seeds is that they lose their germination in a short time. When purchasing them, pay special attention to the expiration date.

For disinfection, the seeds are placed in a gauze cloth and immersed in a warm, weak solution of potassium permanganate for 1 hour. After that, they are soaked for a day in a growth stimulator. At the end of all procedures, they are dried to a loose state.

Transplanting seedlings

2 months after sowing (end of April), when 3-4 feathers appear on the seedlings, it can be planted in an open area (if the soil has warmed up).

Process description

Seedlings are sorted by size, all low-quality or weak seedlings are removed from the total mass. The feathers are cut to a third of their length, this will not allow moisture to evaporate too actively. The root system is also shortened.

After that, the sprouts are transferred into a mixture consisting of an infusion of clay and mullein. Seedlings are placed in a row, leaving 10-15 cm between them (when planting the Exibishen variety - at least 20 cm).

The seedlings are deepened by 1-1.5 cm more than it was in the seedling containers, sprinkled with soil, and slightly tamped.
